I went specifically for the harako rice! It's perfect for those who enjoy drinking, with a menu full of great options for snacks to accompany the drinks. The appetizers were so delicious that I ended up drinking more sake than intended... it was a bit dangerous! Haha. The red pork was juicy and tender; I wish I could have eaten more of it. The harako rice I aimed for was also delicious, and I was very satisfied! It seems like having more people would allow us to enjoy a wider variety of dishes!

The fried mackerel was really delicious! I wished I could have had clay pot rice… The sashimi and grilled dishes were all tasty! I was really happy that I could eat the sashimi with sashimi soy sauce. I really liked the honey lemon sour and honey yuzu lemon sour drinks; the honey was so delicious! Next time, I want to try the clay pot rice! The location of the restaurant might be a bit tricky, but I definitely recommend it!

The entrance is located in a narrow alley next to a series of shops, making it quite hard to find. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I could enter with my shoes on. The prices are a bit higher than what you’d typically find in Shimokitazawa, but the atmosphere of the place, which feels like a renovated old house, and the excellent taste of the food make it worth it. I wonder if the sweetness of the sashimi comes from some kind of processing?

This was my first visit. The ingredients and sake from Miyagi were plentiful and very delicious. The obanzai was particularly elaborate, and everything was tasty... Since we were a group of four, the amount was just right, but the obanzai platter might be too much for two people. The clay pot rice was delicious as well, although the rice was a bit soft. If I have the chance, I would love to visit again.

A hidden gem without a sign! This seafood izakaya offers an excellent atmosphere and great value for money. Located in a charming traditional house in Shimokitazawa, you can enjoy incredibly fresh seafood, but the entrance is unmarked, making it hard to find unless you know about it. Fresh seafood from Miyagi Prefecture is cooked right in front of you over a charcoal hearth. The course we ordered included everything from sashimi to grilled dishes and rice cooked in a pot, showcasing a full seafood experience! The flavors were outstanding, and the portion sizes were generous. The star of the show, "Grilled Salmon with Salmon Roe Rice," was truly delicious—definitely something you must try! Everything else was also a hit, and we were completely satisfied throughout the meal. The courses start at ¥6,600 and include an all-you-can-drink option, which is fantastic value! They have a wide variety of unique beverages, including craft gin, sake, and rare sours. There’s even a premium all-you-can-drink course that features local sake, making it perfect for group gatherings or dates. Course menu: 1. Daily assorted seafood 2. Assorted fresh fish 3. Charcoal-grilled Neo Earth onions 4. Grilled oysters 5. Seasonal fish grilled over charcoal 6. Charcoal-grilled Date red pork 7. Crab cream croquettes 8. Rare fried horse mackerel 9. Pickles 10. Grilled salmon with salmon roe rice

The food and the atmosphere of the restaurant were both amazing!

I ordered the 6,600 yen course, and everything was delicious. The grilled saury, which is in season, and the salmon and salmon roe rice cooked together at the end were absolutely exquisite. I definitely want to go back.

All the dishes were made with great care, and they were very delicious! There was also a variety of drinks to enjoy.

We used a private room for six people. I was a bit unsure if we were allowed to enter at first, but it turned out to be a hidden gem, which was great! The food was delicious, and it seems like a good spot for anything from dates to group gatherings.

I enjoyed a very pleasant atmosphere and delicious food.
